I need to know which side is the hypotenuse. Two possible cases:
- If x is the hypotenuse: x = sqrt(7^2 + 10^2) = sqrt(149) ≈ 12.21.
- If 10 is the hypotenuse and x is a leg: x = sqrt(10^2 − 7^2) = sqrt(51) ≈ 7.14.
(7 cannot be the hypotenuse if the other side is 10, since the hypotenuse must be the longest side.) Which side is the hypotenuse in your diagram?
